TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
KEM CURE AID – 10W Curing Compound – Wax Based DESCRIPTION:
Kem Cure Aid – 10W is a white pigmented, low viscosity, membrane forming synthetic wax emulsion, formulated from hydrocarbon resin. On application to fresh concrete, it forms a impervious film, which prevents excess water evaporation, allows the concrete to retain sufficient moisture to ensure full hydration of cement: essential for optimum strength development. PRODUCT SPECIFICATION / COMPLIANCES:
Kem Cure Aid – 10W meets/exceeds the requirements as per ASTM C-309 Type 1 Class-A. Appearance : Yellowish-White Colour Specific gravity : 1.0 Apprx. pH : 7.5 – 8.5 Water retention efficiency : 90 –95% (BS: 7542) Shelf life : 6 months in the original un-opened packing. Storage : Keep away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. PRIMARY APPLICATIONS:
• • •
As a more effective and economical alternative to conventional water curing and in areas where water curing is difficult and unreliable. Useful for large areas of concrete, like pavements, runways and bridge decks. Useful for vertical and slopping surfaces as on towers, chimneys, canal lining columns and beams.
PRODUCT FEATURES:
• • • • • • • • • • •
Quick and efficient film formation ensures uniform curing. Forms an efficient moisture barrier for optimum curing of concrete. Helps harden concrete through promotion of proper cement hydration. Benefits the concrete surface in minimizing drying shrinkage cracks. Reduces dusting, increases frost resistance. Minimizes human error element during curing stage. Curing compound applied area is clearly visible by its colour difference. Water repellent . Has no unwanted side effect with plastic/green concrete. Application is easy and safe, non-toxic and non-flammable. Film automatically peels off after the surface is cured.
